About White Box 服装店

白盒子是位于温州瑞安的一家服装店室内设计项目，店铺面积约35平方米。店面入口较小，设计以一扇横向长窗取代了传统的展示橱窗，窗下是大面积的白色墙面。整个空间以简洁的盒体结构为基础，通体施以白色，并通过精心布置的光束凸显白色水磨石地面的质感。设计中增设了一处小型阁楼，既扩大了可用面积，又使平面布局更加井然有序。橡木楼梯、地脚灯与灯带将上下两层空间自然衔接。

Unique Properties: In this case, the store takes an area of only 35 square meters. The front door is small, and the traditional display window is replaced by a horizontally long window with much white at the bottom. In this simple box-liked structure, white is massively used and the light beams are well designed to make the white-colored terrazzo floor more elegant. We built a mini loft to meet its functional purpose. The oak stairs, the footlights and the light stripes are another ingenious designs to connect the space.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project takes an area of 32 square meters. The inner structure has a width of 5300mm and depth of 5250mm and height of 4550mm, which takes an area of 28 square meters. There is an extended area with a width of 5400mm and depth of 690mm, which makes an area of 3.7 square meters.

Production Technology: White is such a permissive color that we make the best of white by using it massively in this room. Light is appropriately used to make the beam of light play a specific guiding role in dealing with the aerial perspective relationship of vertical and horizontal space. The floor is covered with white-colored terrazzo, which makes this clean room even more elegant. The stone would feels like warm and softened under the gentle light.
Design Challenge: The hardest part of this design is the room takes an area of only 35 square meters. It's quite difficult to meet the balance of function and visual appearence.
Research: A classic space will never exist without the presence of a human being. The interaction between space and human being always enlivens and warms up the space, making it a full-of-story space, while the designer is just out there to get the story ready to tell. The designer needs to take a prior consideration on the relationship between construction and space to make the space more interesting and memorable and with more speciality.
Inspiration: The space and time are infinitive, the space lives only in the current time. A classic space will never exist without the presence of a human being. The interaction between space and human being always enlivens and warms up the space, making it a full-of-story space, while the designer is just out there to get the story ready to tell.
Project Duration: Located in Rui'an, Wenzhou, the project was designed in April 2019 and finished in May 2019.
Operation Flow: The front door is small, and the traditional display window is replaced by a horizontally long window with much white at the bottom to attract the passerbys. We built a mini loft in this room, because we believe another mini space in a small room will extend the room itself and make it well-organized. Furthermore, the room will also be fully used in functional purpose.
